+  * qemu: Don't set affinity for isolcpus unless explicitly requested
+
+    When starting a domain, by default libvirt sets affinity of QEMU process to
+    all online CPUs. This also included isolated CPUs (``isolcpus=``) which is

+
+    Previously, the network device hotplug logic would try to ensure only CCW
+    or PCI addresses. With recent support for the usb-net model, USB addresses
+    for usb-net network devices are assigned automatically.
